Global Warming Also Means More Humidity
British scientists
have determined global warming isn't only raising temperatures but the
Earth is also becoming more humid.
Researchers
at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England, not only predict
the planet's humidity levels will increase, they also expect those conditions
will produce heavier rainfall, stronger hurricanes and increased human
heat stress, National Geographic News reported.
The British
study also determined the rising humidity levels were being produced
by human influences, study co-author Nathan Gillett told NGN.
The findings
are reported in the journal Nature.
